Sapphire Radeon 9700 Atlantis Pro - Page 4

Aquanox is a pretty entertaining Battle Sub simulation
that was released by Massive Development. It
utilizes Pixel Shaders and various DirectX 8 effects (where
are our DX9 games? as a matter of fact, where's DX9
itself?). They also have Aquanox 2 planned now.

The song
remains the same here. Even at high resolutions, the cards
more limited by the 2.4GHz P4. However, turn on the AA
and Aniso and the Radeon 9700 Atlantis Pro blows by the
GeForce 4 Ti 4600. This benchmark specifically tries
to swamp the graphics pipeline and the actual game plays
significantly faster.

The Second
Encounter "Little Trouble" Demo

As Yogi
would say, "it's like Deja-Vu all over again"! Only
this time the test system's P4 has an easy time with the
benchmark and so do our 3D Graphics Card contestants, even
at high resolutions, when not utilizing AA or Aniso Filtering.
Once again, when we turned up the AA and Aniso filtering, we watched the Sapphire card
smoke NVIDIA's finest.
